Annual GALA

TBD: The 2018 Annual Nativity Catholic School Gala

The Nativity Catholic School Gala is our primary school fundraiser! The first event occurred in 1984 and it has been going strong ever since. It is vital to bridge the financial gap between the operating costs of our school and the tuition that is charged.

We celebrate the great things that God has done for our school. It is a fun and exciting way to unite parents, faculty, staff, families, volunteers and our community in one common cause. By obtaining donations, the event focuses on tapping sources of income beyond the pocketbooks of our parents. It is a way to keep our tuition rates low, while still meeting our financial obligations.

Additionally, it is an evening of fellowship within our community that highlights the many attributes of our wonderful school and helps to continue the legacy of educational excellence and character development found at Nativity Catholic School. It is a semi-formal, community-wide event.
